Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Information for Parents
Invisalign Teen is designed specifically with the unique needs of busy teens in mind. Here's the information parents need to know.
Why Choose Invisalign for My Teen?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option that may just be the right choice for your teen's busy lifestyle and unique needs.
Here are just a few reasons why:
Invisalign Teen is made for teens
Invisalign clear aligners use dental technology to uniquely design a treatment around your teen to straighten their smile. Invisalign Teen was created with special features that are specifically geared to fit into teenagers' busy lives and meet their unique needs.
Proven effective in shaping teen smiles
In the hands of an experienced general dentist, Invisalign clear aligners can be used to treat simple to complex teeth-straightening cases.
Designed for your teen's smile
With Invisalign, teens can continue to enjoy all their favourite things, from foods to sports, just like before treatment.
Since Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth plastic material, some patients find them quite comfortable to wear. This means that neither of you have to worry about discomfort and rubbing caused by wires or brackets like with traditional braces.
More affordable than you may think
The cost of Invisalign clear aligners are often comparable to braces. Plus, your orthodontic insurance may cover some of your treatment costs.
Designed for growing smiles
During the early teen years, your child's smile is still growing. Invisalign Teen features special spaces in the aligners to give your teen's adult teeth room to grow.
Compliance indicators
Invisalign Teen comes in a series of aligner sets, that must be changed out every other week.
Blue compliance indicator dots fade away to clear when the two weeks are up, helping you and your teen to keep track of when it's time for the next set of aligners.
